Sake *Junmai Daiginjo

“With the Zankyo Super 7, brewmaster Iwao Niizawa decided to push rice polishing to its absolute limit. In the past few years some producers have experimented with higher polishing rates, down to 40% or 35% remaining. The Zankyo series was the first to polish below 10% remaining; in past years this was released as “Super 8” when they were able to get enough rice down to just 8% of its original size (in 2016 they surpassed themselves and it to 7%.) The result is a sake that earns the name Zankyo, literally “Reverb” or “Vibration,” with an incredibly light and delicate structure that creates delicate and fleeting textures, flavors and aromas that characterize the very best sake: always just beyond your reach”
